Ladies and gentlemen, we made it. The weekend is finally here. I am not sure why I look forward to the weekend so much. I usually work harder on the weekend then I do at my 9-5.
Don’t forget to checkout the comments, it is where the real action is. Just remember to respect each other.
QOTD:
It’s the bye week, who are you cheering for this weekend?
Let us know in the comments.

NFL News:
Media Selection:
Getting chippy out there.
Refs are trying to give ‘The Gals’ a chance to come back, or at least make it interesting.
That ‘roughing the passer’ call was absolutely fake, called in from NFL HQs.
This latest one is a ‘little bit more legit’.
I find it amazing that Love can play at such a high level when Collingsworth’s lips are so firmly attached to his ass.
You’d think that would slow a guy down…..
Are you sure that the lips are not in front??
Or is that just for Pre and Post Game?
I hate the Packers.
I don’t like the Cowboys, but I don’t really care, I really hate the Packers.
I also want them to lose
That’s not happening.
That sucks
Someone should make that into a haiku or a limerick,
I hate the Packers
Cowboys not so much, don’t care
Packers need to lose
There’s a haiku for you
My Son is a Dallas fan, I blame my ex.
This season has been pretty rough on him. He doesn’t text/talk/message during games but I will have to figure out something ‘consoling’ to say afterwards looks like.
I truly detest Green Bay
Much more than the Cowboys I say
I want them to fail
But the Cowboys are stale
And they’re letting the game get away
Best I can do for a limerick
1 – Cowboys look every bit of a 2-win team, and I’m loving it.
2 – Golden has dropped 2 TDs so far. So glad he’s a FTP.
The Cowboys suck
I hate the Packers
I’m thinking Teasley is waiting for the outcomes of this weekend to target a trade. Waiting to see what teams need a player due to injury, and what teams will be looking to jettison a high dollar player.
loveland in Chicago, maybe that’s why they targeted him so much today, increase his value. They already have Kmart.
Anyone up near Duluth, cross the bridge and follow 53 south until you are almost out of Superior. Gronk’s will be on your left.
Order the Bacon Cheesy Cheeseburger (or one of the others that trips your trigger). It’s HUGE and delicious.
‘He who should not be named’ threw a 44 yard TD to get within 3 with 90s left.
Onsides kick coming up, and it’s a fail.
All Kirks fault of course.
We all talked Kfey to take the Lambs for his survivor pick….
A bunch of us got knocked out of the survival league because of the stupid ass Rams
Me included
Rams got me too. My league is double elimination though, so only my first strike. Still alive.
yeah, those division games suck
It is obviously that ‘Super Team’ curse.
I too, got eliminated.
A valient effort by JJ in that 4th quarter. I was pulling for him to get that touchdown. Nabers was open, but I think it’s right when JJ scrambled to get out of the pocket, so maybe didn’t see him. With that being said, I’m pretty sure he gets the start next week imo.
The Giants knocking the Vikings out of the playoffs at US Bank stadium with JJ McCarthy as the starter will be funny af to watch. I know the kid needs to improve.
I think he just needed better coaching, and now he is getting that.
‘I think he just needed better coaching’
Or he just needed to pull his head out of his ass and getting traded for a 5th round pick was the laxative that he needed??
That is also entirely possible.
Does not change the fact that IF he turns out to be a viable NFL QB, this franchise once again effed up big.
10 games as a starter is way too soon to give up on him. my opinion.
Obviously the coaches had seen enough and wanted to move on.
I thought it was too early, I mean he sucked and was often injured, but I thought they should have kept him around as QB2
^^this^^
I also thought it was too early.
But the HC, OC, QB coach saw him every day and the new GM saw enough to be convinced he was a problem.
I have to assume that they know a heck of a lot more about the young man than I (or the media ‘experts’) do.
I don’t think that would be funny, but I know what you’re getting at. That would be so vikings though.
FTG
really the whole NFC East
McFragile leading a Giants comeback….
That would be almost as bad as the Sam Darnold clusterf*ck.
Nope.
Grrrr had to go putz with the hot water heater. The Teacher adjusted it yesterday for winter temps and this morning we only had cold water.
Learned all about the status/test button and all of the blinking light options and what they mean. @Lots of fun@
At least we got it working again but since it is original to the house and about 20 years old we will have it ‘serviced’ and see if the whole thing needs replacing or just the electronic controls.
Ahhh, the joys of home ownership.
You mean the water heater? Once the water is hot, you don’t need to heat it anymore.
@clever@
And domestic life. I don’t let my wife touch any non-kitchen appliances.
The Falcons offensive line is hot trash
Kind of nice having a bye week.
No stress watching a game.
Indeed. Just enjoying watching some football without the stress of waiting for the Vikings to rip our hearts out in yet another new and inventive way.
Gonna go work in the yard, it’s beautiful outside.
Not me….
So you crossed nothing off of your ‘to do list’??
You got it !
I spent yesterday and today tearing shingles off my shed and replacing with tin.
Put in a retaining wall and pavers this weekend. Putting a 6×6 greenhouse in.
You guys all working hard.
Saturday I went to a taproom and tried a few new beers and had a bacon cheeseburger.
Today I cooked burgers and chicken on the grill, and I did not use aluminum foil like some QBs. I know how to use a grill.
You failed your own thread picture.
It’s not “everybody’s working on the weekend…..”
Falcons 3rd and 34.
whoops, third and 20.
3rd & 17, Bears gained 16. Punt upcoming. Falcons can tie it here with a touchdown. 1:52 left in the half.
Holy shit, falcon punt returner, fumbled it, and the Bears recovered. Bears touchdown. They got a touchdown on a punt.
Oh, never mind. They can’t advance the fumble Recovery. Bears ball on the floor.
Should not fair catch the ball on the 8, let it bounce.
Crap, Bears TD. 21-7
Starting to see a lot more returners catch the ball inside the 10. Punters have gotten too good. I think the new unwritten rule is the 5 in the nfl now.
On the 8 or 9.
I’m getting Panthers vs poop eaters on German TV… ugly game so far, and not just because it features the 💩 enjoyers.
Same.
Of course I only live two hours from the Linc.
Ugly bad football.
Wait until you see the last touchdown from Penix to Dotson
Penix just missed a wide open WR, needs to learn some Penix control.
Atlanta’s offense can’t find their ass with both hands, and they have one of the best running backs in the league.
This Daniels kid is looking pretty good in Tampa, that was a hell of a drive
QOTD: no one
oops, Rams since I took them for the survival league
I’m rooting for whichever players are on my fantasy team.
Other than that, I was rooting for some grilled sausage patties this morning, and I won. They were yummy.
I got Dirty Birds-Bores here.
Go Hotlanta.
I’m switching between the Bears game and the Buccaneers game. I have that NFL+ thingy,
QOTD……Falcons and cowboys.
Wembley Stadium. Who names a stadium after one of the Fraggles? Australians are weird.
For ‘Rooting Guide’ today for Vikings Fans, I am thinking:
Falcons over Bores.
Cowpatties over FTP, feels like a meteor game.
*Aints over Giants, got to hold my nose for that one.
Redskins over 9ers.
Panthers over Filthadelpia.
Donkos over the SeaChickens already helped with tie breakers and such.
Rooting guide is ftp no matter what
Amen
Happy Sunday!
Inc pass in the end zone, Mormons win 28-24.
Got a holy war going on. Catholics versus the Mormons.
Mormons are hanging in there better than I thought that they would.
But of course it is still early.
A little ‘trickeration’ by the Mormons to take the lead 14-10.
No kidding? I’m gonna have to turn that on.
Gonna be like the Crusades soon, a slaughter
21-10 Mormons at the half.
Wow, that’s unexpected. I have to turn it on when I get back in the house.
Funny play just before the half. Catholics got to about the 5 and went to spike it, but the QB kind of bobbled the ball and just pushed it down. Mormons jumped on it.
It took the officials several minutes before they would review the play and once they did ruled it a fumble, with 6s left in the half.
So Jalen is going on IR due to his blood clot after all.
Someone named Tanner McKee will be the starter at QB for the next 4 weeks.

I remember McKey from the draft, we must’ve been looking quarterback that year
Mick wanted Vikings to draft him, wonder whatever happened to him
Not sure, he’s a good dude.
Always liked mickhead, he just kinda disappeared
#1 Georgia loses.
Need #2 ND to lose.
Watch BYU vault to the top 3!!
It will probably be Ohio St to #1 if ND loses.
The B1G has the juice if the SEC continues to suck.
And #6 Bama is down 16 with under 2m left. :))))
I’d lean Miami to #1
But it’s been upset Saturday.
Ohio St beat undefeated and defending champ Indiana on the road.
I would guess that is enough to leapfrog them but who knows, it is all politics at this point.
Miami ranked #3, undefeated and won. Barely.
My guess:
I am guessing…
Ohio St.MiamiGeorgiaBYUNDI could actually see them putting ND ahead of BYU because Politics.
Hoping Ole Miss can claw their way back up
31 – 3 today, so should be a little bit up from #9.
Might get to #5 but media loves who they love.
#7 Texas and Archie Manning go down to unranked Florida.
I guess he probably isn’t ‘The 1’.
19-15 The Ohio State University.
Indiana WR didn’t get his foot inbounds on a catch that would have been a TD with just over a minute left.
He was focused on catching the ‘over the shoulder’ catch and didn’t seem to realize how close he was to the side line of the end zone.
AJ Brown is expected to play on Sunday, my fantasy team got much better.
Sucks
Kiddo ran the mile in 6:32, personal best for him
A 6th grader ran the mile in 5:15, crazy
That is crazy. I think the best I did was around 4:40, but that was in high school
I ran the 2 mile in 11:50 when I was in the army, but that was a LONG time ago
I also smoked a pack and a half a day back then, Marlboro Reds
Been free of those things for 24 years or so, I don’t miss them
11:29, right before I was supposed to go to Ranger school
again, super long time ago
You would never tell by looking at me now but my best 2 mile was somewhere around 9:40. That was in my senior year of high school. Now the only way I could beat that would be in my car.
I think my best was just over 10m for the 2 mile run in the PT test.
It was shortly after running the marathon so I could do a some speed for a short time.
NSFW LANGUAGE
Basically the only thing I could understand him say was that he had ‘No more F*cks to give’ over and over again.
Looking forward to Indiana vs The Ohio State here in about an hour, a #5 vs #4 matchup.
Plus #2 Notre Dame at #8 BYU, the Catholics invading the Mormons.
Some other decent games today, enough to make the day interesting.
Spent Thursday canning a dozen jars of Washington St apples that we picked up over the weekend. Honey Crisps that had just arrived at the store, had to wash the orchard off of them, sweet and tart.
I’m watching a 6th grade cross country meet.
Gonna try to knock down some birds this afternoon
This wind is keeping the deer from getting up and browsing
I’ve seen birds, squirrels and rabbits
Granny makes a pretty mean Squirrel stew.
Go find one of those deer crossing signs by the highway, and just camp out near there. I mean, they tell you exactly where they cross the road, can’t be that hard to shoot them.
I’m surprised you haven’t thought of this already
I understand that the deer have learned to ignore those signs by now and cross somewhere else.
Game and fish should probably crack down on that before somebody gets hurt
The deer say that those signs are not like ‘Pedestrian Crossing’ signs so they are not required to cross at those.
Not tonight they didn’t
*update* dropped a 6 point this evening, went zero yards from where I shot him
Congrats.
I can send you my cell phone number so you can text me some venison.
Please and Thank you.
